TED On-Board: The U.S. Army's New Diagnostic Enabler

The U.S. Army is improving its logistic information systems so that it can continue to meet the logistics needs of future combat operations. This report describes a system that will provide engine status information on the M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks to battalion and brigade logistics maintainers. The system will reside on board the tank and is called TED On-Board. TED On- Board is an extension of a currently fielded (off-board) diagnostic system called TED (Turbine Engine Diagnostics).
